SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP)  Syracuse sophomore point guard Jonny Flynn has signed with an agent, officially ending his college basketball career.

In a video interview posted Thursday morning on Syracuse.com, Flynn says leaving Syracuse two years early to enter the NBA draft was the hardest decision of his life.

Flynn says he signed with Leon Rose's Creative Artists Agency Sports.

The NBA draft will be held June 25.

Flynn's Syracuse teammates Paul Harris and Eric Devendorf are also planning to declare for the NBA draft but have not said whether they plan to hire agents as well. Underclassmen have until April 26 to declare for the NBA draft and June 15 to withdraw if they do not hire an agent.
